Hello, help with the OBS settings, AMD RX 570 graphics card, I want to record smoothly and accurately in 1080p60FPS.

[benman2785]

do you want to stream or record local?
what game?
have in mind that AMD AMF Encoder has an impact on bandwidth and gpu-load - you should at least use FRTC with 10fps lower than normal average framerate; and/or lower ingame settings

1080p60 is possible and needs 25-35mbit/s bitrate to look good
streaming 1080p60 on twitch is not recommended - even 1080p48 doesnt look great
streaming 1080p60 on YTG is possible but 9000kbps + buffersize of max 1000kb should not be exceeded

do you want some other info?

I record the passage of various games. Now, for example, I recorded Call Of duty, but I have problems with the recording. Therefore, please show the optimal settings to improve quality. I'm not good at what you showed

If you're just looking to record videos I'd recommend using ReLive with the HEVC codec. In every game I've tested the results have been perfect; straight out of the box with zero tweaking required. You can then import the video into your favorite editor and add any overlays you need there.

That said, here's a little trick to get around the resource issues with OBS. Go into your recording tab and change View Mode to Expert. Scroll down and change the Video API to Direct3D 9. Obviously YMMV, but this worked for me. I haven't had to mess with frame rate target control or anything else. Maybe there's some huge hidden drawback to this that I haven't seen, but I haven't lost a frame since switching.

I would switch to ReLive, but in the program cannot be divided into 2 tracks, one sound and another microphone. I work with sound. And in OBS it is possible.

ReLive has a "Separate Microphone Track" - Like James said, I'd highly recommend ReLive for clean and easy recordings. Keep in mind though, 1080p/60 streamed is going to be pretty demanding ESPECIALLY with the current CoD MW! Here's a short stream test I did last night on Twitch - while I do stream at 1080p/60 and play at 1440p/maxed settings, I'm also using a Radeon VII and a second system to handle the encoding/decoding. With a single rig and a RX570 you will be limited to play AND stream at 1080p/60.

Hello. I decided to switch to relive, show your settings. Very smooth picture, what I wanted to get in OBS

[jamesc359]

Glad to hear it's working for you. I use the default settings. If it's not broke, don't fix it.

Help configure Relive. Very poor quality and lag video. And the game has a stable 120FPS.

I'm on mobile, but it looks fine to me?

[jamesc359]

It may or may not be useful to you, but ReLive does allow you to record your microphone as a separate file. You can then use your video editor to mix or embed the mic data.

this settings are for recording only
quality should be pretty good - but bitrates can differ from 25-75mbit/s
